Description

In:

https://github.com/trentm/python-markdown2/blob/master/lib/markdown2.py#L1274

_safe_protocols = re.compile(r'(https?|ftp):', re.I)

I would recommend that this is not hard-coded but rather there is an extra for it.

Alternatively, I would recommend to allow additional URL schemes such as mailto and tel.

Research direction

Start at lib/markdown2.py line 1274, where _safe_protocols is defined, and inspect how extras are handled around the URL-safety logic. Clarify whether the finished change should configure the existing protocols or add schemes such as mailto and tel, then verify the selected behavior with the relevant test suite.
